Students select a minimum of 12 credits from either the Education Electives or Natural Resource electives. Students may choose to focus on teaching in informal education settings or formal classroom instruction in middle or high schools.
Students pursuing the Education Double Degree or the Master of Science in Education should choose classes that can double count for the courses listed in Content Mastery for Biology or Integrated Science. An Oregon teacher license requires additional science courses not listed in the Natural Resource major or the Natural Resource Education option. To satisfy the biology and integrated science endorsement requirements, Natural Resource students need to take the 200 level biology, two additional courses in chemistry to make it a full year and at least two physics classes. Students must work closely with their advisor(s) to plan an appropriate plan of study to meet their goals
